under the magnolia tree

Spring was definitely in full swing in St. Louis.  Nani's peach tree was in bloom!

We had rain one night but woke to a very sunshiny day.  Magnolia declared this as puddle day!  We took a walk and she got to jump in as many as she could find.  It never occured to me that we don't have puddles in suburbia...one more thing to look forward to moving to the city.

These were taken in the the alley behind Nani's house.   If you look to the right you'll see someone's yard has a forest of bamboo, it's spectacular!

Much to Magnolia's delight, the magnolia trees were in full bloom.

What a great walk down Limit's Walk.  Love that pep in her step!

Next stop was  Elizabeth and Rob's new house.  It's adorable and going to be even cuter when they are done with a massive renovation.

I'm not sure I've seen a face sweeter than this.  Miss Madeline is a complete and utter doll.  I just loved seeing her!

Here she is wearing her new sunhat for the first time and hamming it up.

Meanwhile George takes Nani for a walk through their backyard.

Okay, one last picture of baby and mama.  They are so cute!

Spending most of our days in Nani's front yard we learned of a neighborhood easter egg hunt and are urged to come along.  We did and what fun it was!

Even though George didn't find any eggs, he had a blast.  Perhaps because he could feel the warm air and sunshine on those chunky thighs???

Well, that and his daddy was giving him a whole lot of loving.  

('ll be back soon with the big event that happened this week!)
